ODS and YAML explained
What is a ODS file?
ODS is the OpenDocument spreadsheet format used by LibreOffice Calc, OpenOffice and Google Sheets. It is the open standard alternative to Excel for storing tables, formulas and multiple sheets.
What is a YAML file?
YAML is a human friendly data format often used for configuration. Its clean, indentation based syntax makes it easy to read and edit by hand.
